Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

After lunch, Lao Li and his wife returned to the county seat!

Li Youwei was worried about the unpacked welfare goods at home, so she and Zhou Yang left Liu's house with their children.

On the way, Li Youwei happily told Zhou Yang about the grand occasion of distributing welfare products today. Hearing his daughter-in-law excitedly talk about how much rice, flour, grain, oil, and daily necessities were distributed, Zhou Yang was also very happy.

In fact, Zhou Yang knew how much Li Youwei distributed, because the printing factory also belonged to the research institute, and the welfare products they distributed were exactly the same as those of the research institute.

Besides, Zhou Yang asked Qiao Weiguo to lead people to purchase these welfare items.Zhou Yang knew everything about it.

But seeing his daughter-in-law's happy look, Zhou Yang didn't interrupt her, and added a few words from time to time.

When I got home, the two little ones were already asleep.

After entering the door, Li Youwei told Wenhui and Bao'er to do their winter vacation homework first.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination and more than 200 college students in the village this year, the members of the village have paid more attention to their children's studies, and strongly urge the teachers to give these children more winter homework.

Naturally, the teachers would not refuse the parents' requests, so these children felt the double care of the parents and the teachers.

Taking advantage of the time when the children were doing their homework, Li Youwei and Zhou Yang immediately packed up these welfare items, sorted what should be classified, put what should be put away, and were extremely busy.

The welfare items for the two of them add up to a lot. The pork alone added more than 40 catties, and there were also two chickens, 10 catties of eggs, and a lot of other supplies.

The two of them worked for a long time before finishing handling these welfare products, and then Zhou Yang started to make preserved meat.

In this era without refrigerators, there are only three ways to preserve meat for a long time, namely air-drying, cured meat and marinating!

In Saibei, it is most commonly made into air-dried meat or cured pork.

On the one hand, it is easier to make air-dried meat and cured pork, and it is not as troublesome as bacon. On the other hand, the climate here is more suitable for making air-dried meat and cured pork!

It's just that Zhou Yang prefers to eat bacon, so every year if there is extra meat at home, they usually make bacon.

This year is no exception!

In the kitchen, Zhou Yang put the star anise into the pot and stir-fried on low heat.

After frying the fragrance, add pepper, fennel, etc., and continue to stir fry slowly over low heat until it is crispy.

Then find a pounding jar, pour the crispy fried spices into the pounding jar, pound it into powder, add salt and put it in a bowl for later use.

Then Zhou Yang took out the processed pork, pig's trotters and pig's head, and evenly spread the fried spice powder on the fresh pork...

Just after the meat was marinated, Zhou Yang was about to get some thatch and smoke the meat after it was marinated.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Yang heard movement outside the gate.

When he got up and looked, he found that Huzi ran in with his brothers and sisters from the old house.

In addition to these children from the Li family, there are also a group of little dolls standing at the gate, all of whom are from the village.

Pushing the door open, Huzi saw Zhou Yang in the kitchen, and immediately greeted him, "Uncle, we're here to play with Bao'er and Wen Hui!"

"Where are you going to play in this cold weather?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.

"Go to Xiaohegou to play ice carts, my father made several for us!" Huzi said proudly.

Bao'er in the room also heard Huzi's voice, ran out without shoes on, and said happily: "Brother Huzi, you are here, did uncle finish the ice cart?"

"It's done, let's go!"

Bao'er didn't immediately agree, but looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Dad..."

"Go, but pay attention to safety, especially pay attention to that ice chisel, don't hurt anyone!" Zhou Yang warned.

"it is good..."

After finishing speaking, Bao'er happily went back to the back room, and called Shang Wenhui to go out.

Seeing her daughter in such a hurry, Li Youwei immediately asked her to put on her clothes, gloves and hat. If she went to play outside in this weather, she had to take measures to keep warm.

Fortunately, Wen Hui was more sensible, and when he heard that he was going out, he prepared the cotton-padded clothes, gloves, and hats for the two of them early.

It wasn't until everything was cleaned up that he took Bao'er and followed Huzi and the others away from Zhou's house.

After the children left, Zhou Yang greeted Li Youwei and took Chen Beixuan out.

But instead of going to the research institute, he went straight to the Li family's old house.

...........

Li's old house!

Li Fengnian was sitting straddling the edge of the kang smoking a pipe, while breathing, the sparks in the copper pipe also flickered.

At the same time, a lot of dark brown residue has fallen on the ground.

Dry tobacco is different from cigarettes. There is not so much soot after burning, but it will leave a layer of residue inside the pot head. Sometimes people need professional tools to remove this stuff.

Next to Li Fengnian, Wang Ping and Zhang Genwang were also leaning on the edge of the Kang, with a big bowl of tea in front of each of them.

"Old Li, this is the situation. Before those educated youths leave, we have to make preparations!" Zhang Genwang said while holding a dry tobacco pot in one hand.

Wang Ping also echoed, "Yes, after all the educated youths have left, Liang Feng will be the only one left in the village who will settle accounts. Even if he is tired, he won't be able to win by himself!"

Li Fengnian took a puff of smoke first, then exhaled a puff of smoke and asked: "Then what do you two mean, let me transfer some people from the commune for you?"

"We definitely can't afford the cadres of the commune. See if you can transfer some educated youths from other brigades!" Zhang Genwang said.

Wang Ping said: "I heard that there are more than 120 educated youths in the Fugou brigade. Although they all took the college entrance examination this year, it seems that few of them passed the exam. Let's see if we can get them all to our village?"

"There is also the Xuejiawa brigade. There seem to be more than 100 people there. It would be even better if they come together!" Zhang Genwang said.

Li Fengnian smiled and said: "It's been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Think about it. A few years ago, I heard that the cadres of the commune wanted to build an educated youth in our village. Most people were not happy, and they were afraid that the educated youth would come. Afterwards, they robbed us of our rations, and the members of the commune hated the educated youths one by one."

"Look at the present, it has only been a few years, and the educated youths are leaving, and you are not happy, so you came here specially to ask me to find educated youths for you!"

Wang Ping said with a smile: "That's not because everyone was suffering in the past. I remember that a few years ago, our village could only distribute more than 300 catties of grain throughout the year, and we had to go hungry for half a year. How could there be any surplus food to feed us?" outsider!"

Zhang Genwang said: "300 catties a year is already a good harvest, but one year my village was hit by a disaster. After paying the task rations, each person only got 18 catties of wheat."

"Steamed buns have to be mixed with 29% stick noodles on New Year's Eve, and buns are eaten on the [-]th. Dumplings are made on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After the second day, there will be no white noodles. Looking at the present, it is really a heaven and an underground... ..”

"Who says it's not? The past few years were really hard. The people in the village didn't have anything to eat, so they could still support the educated youths."

Then Li Fengnian said again: "Fortunately, our life has finally improved in the past few years. Every household not only has a full warehouse of food, but also gets a lot of money..."

While chatting, a few people suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside.

Looking out the window, I saw Zhou Yang striding in with the guard Xiao Chen.

Seeing this, several people stopped talking immediately, and all their eyes were fixed on Zhou Yang...
